Episode 41: Isles Out, Devils Out, Rangers Out | Tri-State Hockey Podcast

Episode 41 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast is a full-on postmortem for the Islanders, Devils, and Rangers after all three teams officially miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Jonny Lazarus, Mike Rupp, and Arthur Staple react to the Islanders’ collapse, debate whether major roster surgery is finally coming to Long Island, and dig into the criticism surrounding Matthew Darsch, Ilya Sorokin, Bo Horvat, Mathew Barzal, and the trade-deadline additions. The guys then shift to New Jersey to talk about the Devils’ line combinations, Connor Brown’s fit, Dawson Mercer’s future, and the team’s goaltending plan heading into next season. They wrap things up with a great conversation on Jonathan Quick’s career, retirement, and legacy, plus some Rangers talk, Gabe Perreault contract chatter, and the usual chaos to close the show.
